A day before the IRS apologized for scrutinizing conservatives’ applications for “social welfare” tax exemption, House Republicans sent a letter to the IRS Commissioner demanding an audit of the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) claiming the organization does not qualify for tax-exempt status and deserves extra scrutiny.

Think you are safe from DUI? Think again. Drunk driving facts show that anyone, at any time can be a victim. Here are some little-known drunk driving facts that show you what I mean:

• Over 40% of fatal automobile accidents are alcohol-related • Approximately 30% of Americans will be in an accident involving alcohol • According to estimates, someone is injured in an alcohol-related accident every two minutes • Accidents involving alcohol are more likely to occur at night… about five times more likely • About two-thirds of DUI convictions are for first time offenders • More than one-third of all fatal traffic accidents involve at least one person with a BAC over 0.08%

Do you still think you can dodge the drunk driving bullet? Drunk driving facts do not lie. Do what you can to avoid becoming a statistic.

Totally opposed to lowering the limit. Alcohol is legal is this country last I knew. One beer does not make you intoxicated. If the government is serious, lets just get back to the prohibition days and seize all alcohol. My fear with this would be it would put a whole lot of people out of a job, including the safety forces who have seemed to make it their first priority. You can sit on a highway waiting for assistance from the state troopers..cause they are tied up patrolling neighborhoods instead of the highways. They say "call a taxi"..well there aren't any to speak of in the Valley. Perhaps this could be part of the new law..the government can operate taxi service in every community as a part of providing safety to all tax payers. This new concept is going just a tad too far!

ITISNT, are you trying to tell us that over 10,000 people a year are struck by lightning in the United States? See everyone I was right about him not posting until his blood alcohol level is 49.85%. What a stupid statement that you made ITISNT.

I do not believe in (drunk-driving) I just think 0.05 is BS! Go hear a band & have 1 beer & I get charged for over the limit is an over-reach of Government rules. I guess I have to order 1 beer & share it with a friend or ask if I can buy 1/2 a beer. How will the clubs pay their bills let alone hire a band? There you just wiped out the bars & the bands.

Itisnteasy I have you know my cousin was hit head on by a drunk driver and now has scars for life because of that idiot btw it was his fourth DUI. People like you who support it are stupid idiot s who have no regard for anyone but them selves. She has a chunk taken out of her leg and is still pulling pieces of glass out of her face. All because some idiot decided to drive drunk.

robinj I agree with you there is a lot of solutions to driving while impared. Call a friend to come get you. stay there and sleep it off. call a taxi to come get you. There I just gave everyone three solutions to driving drunk. I wish people would use thier brains when it comes to drunk driving. btw the guy who hit my cousin was on his fourth dui.

IF you've ever been hit by a drunk or impaired driver then this is certainly a nobrainer!! Having been hit head on by an impaired driver, with no previous DUI, at 10am; changes ones life dramatically; and NOT for the better!

Anyone drinking should NEVER drive, be it 1 beer or 10, drinking 1 beer and driving is just that driving and driving, its a rather simple safety concept!
